Dear Chamber Member:

On behalf of our Board of Directors and Staff, I am pleased to present the 2002-2003 edition of the Chamber’s Member Buyer’s Guide and Regional Profile.This publication is the result of our organization’s continued focus on providing an enhanced image to our members and the Glendale area business community.The Chamber believes strongly that you will find this magazine a valuable guide in your day-to-day business and encourages you to “Buy Chamber” when purchasing goods and services. Please familiarize yourself with the many programs and services listed in order to take full advantage of your membership.During 2000-2001 the Chamber was successful in: retiring all of our outstanding debt, strengthening our relations with local government officials, assisting in the passage of Glendale’s Transportation Tax, providing over 30,000 member referrals from our Internet web site, and assisting the Phoenix Coyotes NHL team in marketing their new Glendale arena site to the entire West Valley business community.Your Chamber leadership is committed to strengthening our influence with pubic policy, increasing our networking influence on a more regional basis, and continuing our supporting role promoting area economic development and marketing initiatives in partnership with the City of Glendale.I encourage you to join with me in fostering the continued growth and prosperity of our business community.

Sincerely,

William R. Nelson
Chairman of the Board
